Brunton Axis Transit 360-Degrees Compass - Silver
- The lid rotates 360-Degrees around both axes, making measurements possible for any surface, including overhangs.
- The lid can extend or create the measurement surface itself
- The default orientation of compass North makes this the only transit in the world that can measure strike & dip simultaneously
- A simple rotation of the azimuth ring also allows simultaneous measurement of dip angle & dip direction if that is preferred
